Molly Janczyk: Information on Sept. 14 CORE meeting
From Molly Janczyk, Aug. 20, 2006
Our ANNUAL CORE meeting will be held at STRS on Thurs. Sept. 14, 2006.
Registration is from 9:30-10:00am.
10:00-11:45 will be discussion and voting on the proposed Constitution. Focus and Election for 2007 are to be discussed.
11:45am Tom Mooney, Pres. of OFT will be our guest speaker. All are invited to hear Mr. Mooney.
1PM is Public Speak at the STRS Board Meeting and with the earlier start time, the meeting can adjourn.
**Annual CORE meetings are held to decide future focus points. Health Care has been the priority as determined by majority vote at past meetings. Priorities for the next year will be established in Sept. Ideas have been presented and will be discussed in Sept. regarding restructuring CORE. Thus far, there has been a policy of no leaders but action based on majority vote by volunteers.
It had been suggested, that in order to effectively meet and discuss with other major groups, we elect leaders/officers for CORE so groups know who to contact on CORE issues. The leaders would still base their discussions on CORE policy and approved stands by the majority and CORE ADV. BOARD but we would have a spokesperson for the group. They would not individually set policy just as Damon Asbury or other leaders do not and are subject to Board votes on their action. Of course, they would meet and discuss freely but just as any organization leaders do, CORE officers would base their premise on CORE's own by laws and policies. The Constitution was written to provide for these areas and safeguard CORE.
PLEASE plan to send representatives from your areas with input from membership for this most important to hear and vote on these important changes.
Hopefully, leaders would oversee areas of concern at STRS for feedback and direction. CORE can benefit by having different members attend various meetings at STRS and perhaps other organization meetings. If this were divied up, no one person would be responsible for many meetings. Committees were formed and volunteers signed up for them last year but there has been no direction in this area to oversee attending of committee meetings. This needs attention. The idea was good and it is hoped that members who sign up would then attend appropriate meetings and take minutes to report to CORE for discussion and action.
The above is my understanding of possible ideas up for discussion. Any ideas and concerns can be raised regarding matters. Come with forethought ready for open discussion.
Please interact and bring solid suggestions for changes from your local membership. It is important that all are heard and are part of any decisions.
Thank you, Molly J.
